Aluminium Sump Guard Engine & Steering Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 1

• Mitsubishi

Massive front and underbody protection for the first generation of the Pajero Sport – highly effectively protect your off-roader's engine, front axle, and steering linkage!

The MorE 4x4 aluminum combination skid plate for the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 1 (suitable for all model years from 1996 to 2008) provides high-strength, extensive protection for the most important mechanical components at the front of the vehicle and the front underbody: the engine (incl. oil pan), the front axle differential, and the vulnerable tie rods and steering components.

The Pajero Sport 1 (K90) is based on a robust ladder frame platform and is a popular companion for travels and tough off-road missions. However, since it has independent front suspension with torsion bars, the front differential housing and steering components are inherently unprotected in the potential impact area. An inattentive impact on sharp-edged rocks, massive tree stumps, or a hard hit in deep ruts can irreparably bend the tie rods or tear open the engine oil pan – leading to immediate oil loss and catastrophic engine damage.

This vehicle-specific 3-in-1 underbody protection perfectly closes this critical safety gap in the underbody. Thanks to its well-thought-out design, this skid plate can be mounted completely independently and separately, without necessarily requiring the remaining plates of the underbody system to be installed. In this version, it is precisely designed for installation under the original factory front bumper.

💡 Important note regarding product images: To show you the full extent of the underbody protection on the vehicle, some photos depict multiple skid plates. The scope of delivery for this item includes only the front engine, differential, and tie rod skid plate. The other skid plates (for the main gearbox, transfer case, etc.) are not included but can be purchased separately in our shop.

Your advantages at a glance:

• Perfectly vehicle-specific: Tailor-made for the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 1 (1996–2008) – suitable for all engine variants (such as the 2.5 TD, 3.0 V6, or 2.8 TD).

• 3-in-1 protection area: Highly effectively secures the engine, the front axle differential, and the complete steering linkage (tie rods) against mechanical impacts and frontal impacts from below.

• Fits the series front: Specially designed to fit seamlessly under the original factory bumper.

• Light & extremely robust: Made from high-quality, 6 mm thick aluminum. This offers the ideal balance of uncompromising stability for tough off-road use and minimal additional weight for the front axle.

• Easy Plug-and-Play installation: No drilling, cutting, or welding on the vehicle necessary! The included mounting kit exclusively uses the original factory drilled holes and threads in the ladder frame. Reversion to the series condition is easily possible at any time.
